Leon Rosselson - For the Good of the Nation

{Chorus}
Oh the nation
The nation
The nation is in such a terrible state
Stagnation, Inflation
If we all pull together we'll once again make Britain great

{Verse 1}
The state of the nation is all my concern
And im gnawing a crust for my diner
I can't afford meat off the money I earn
And im growing thinner
But it's all for the good of the nation

{Chorus}
The nation
The nation
The nation is in such a terrible state
Stagnation, Inflation
If we all pull together we'll once again make Britain great

{Verse 2}
The balance of payments worries me sick
When Im freezing to death in the bus queue
I'll be iced if the bus doesn't come double quick
But I know there are things that a man must do when it's all for the good of the nation

{Chorus}
The nation
The nation
The nation is in such a terrible state
Stagnation, Inflation
If we all pull together we'll once again make Britain great

{Verse 3}
Now the lack of investment keeps me awake
I can hear the rain drip through the celing
My bedrooms a igloo, the floor is a lake
But I'm warmed by this wonderful feeling
That it's all for the good of the nation

{Chorus}
The nation
The nation
The nation is in such a terrible state
Stagnation, Inflation
If we all pull together we'll once again make Britain great

{Verse 4}
The stock markets jumpy, the outlook is grim
And my body with sorrow is smitten
I won't last the winter, I've hummed my last hymm
Let these words on my tombstone be written
"He died for the good of the nation"

{Outro}
The nation
The nation
The nation is in such a terrible state
Stagnation, Inflation
If we all die together we'll once again make Britain great
